    摘要： The present invention provides a high energy photon source. A pair of plasma pinch electrodes are located in a vacuum chamber. The chamber contains a working gas which includes a noble buffer gas and an active gas chosen to provide a desired spectral line. A pulse power source provides electrical pulses at voltages high enough to create electrical discharges between the electrodes to produce very high temperature, high density plasma pinches in the working gas providing radiation at the spectral line of the source or active gas. Preferably the electrodes are configured co-axially. The central electrode is preferably hollow and the active gas is introduced out of the hollow electrode. This permits an optimization of the spectral line source and a separate optimization of the buffer gas. In preferred embodiments the central electrode is pulsed with a high negative electrical pulse so that the central electrode functions as a hollow cathode. Preferred embodiments present optimization of capacitance values, anode length and shape and preferred active gas delivery systems are disclosed. Preferred embodiments also include a pulse power system comprising a charging capacitor and a magnetic compression circuit comprising a pulse transformer. Special techniques are described for cooling the central electrode. In one example, water is circulated through the walls of the hollow electrode. In another example, a heat pipe cooling system is described for cooling the central electrode.

    摘要： An apparatus and method is described which may comprise a plasma produced extreme ultraviolet (“EUV”) light source multilayer collector which may comprise a plasma formation chamber; a shell within the plasma formation chamber in the form of a collector shape having a focus; the shell having a sufficient size and thermal mass to carry operating heat away from the multilayer reflector and to radiate the heat from the surface of the shell on a side of the shell opposite from the focus. The material of the shell may comprise a material selected from a group which may comprise silicon carbide, silicon, Zerodur or ULE glass, aluminum, beryllium, molybdenum, copper and nickel. The apparatus and method may comprise at least one radiative heater directed at the shell to maintain the steady state temperature of the shell within a selected range of operating temperatures.

    摘要： An electric discharge gas laser having a laser cavity in which is contained a laser gas and a fan for circulating the laser gas. The fan is supported in position radially by a roller bearing system and axially at least in part by magnetic forces. In a preferred embodiment the magnetic forces are supplied by a brushless DC motor in which the rotor of the motor is sealed within the gas environment of the laser cavity and the motor stator is located outside the gas environment. The magnetic center of the rotor is offset from the center of the stator to produce a magnetic reluctance generated force on the shaft that acts axially on the shaft toward the non-drive end and is reacted by a ball and plate bearing assembly mounted along the axis of rotation at the opposite end of the shaft.
